Topic: Your favorite lens is? (Read 23002 times)

It is like asking what song you like best... depends on the mood and the occation.

I can probably pick three if there is no context and we are being pedantic: 135L, 35L, and 24-105L .

In a pinch, I always grab the 24-105L Zoom and 35L prime. They compliment eachother very well.

I fall in and out of love with the 35L....it does limit you in someways being in reality a wider angle than normal ....but I use it as a faux standard for a bit of punch. Right now I am going through the love phase with the ageing 35L.

Hands Up!, the 100-400mm L not the best lens by a long shot, hideous transition zone bokeh but when this thing delivers, it REALLY delivers. Not my most used lens but has provided some of my most outstanding, mostly nature, images.

Yep. In wildflower season, it's the 100mm IS macro. That pretty much stays on the 5D. At the moment (summer here in Oz) wildflower season is over, so the 300mm f4 stays on the body, for bird pic's (Eastern Spine-bills and other small birds are hanging around at the moment). In 3-4 months, as the weather cools off, I'll move towards the 40mm pancake, for the moody, misty conditions around the hills
